Barbra Streisand - The Third Album (1964) [1993, Remastered Reissue]

"The Third Album" was the 3rd album that Mike Berniker produced for Barbra Streisand at Columbia Records. He explained to the press how, in just a few short years, Streisand had grown as a vocalist: “There used to be an edge on the top of her voice,” he said, “but now that edge is gone. She's still pushing just as hard, but it's not as evident as it used to be. In her third album, her new one, there's a real serenity - at least, for Streisand it's serenity.” After marrying Elliott Gould and finishing up a series of West Coast concerts, Barbra Streisand returned to New York City in the Fall of 1963 where she began to record songs for her third album. Barbra attended two recording sessions, working on songs with arrangements by Peter Matz and Ray Ellis. (Streisand loved Billie Holiday’s album Lady in Satin which Ellis arranged. “Ray Ellis’ arrangements made such an impression on me,” Streisand recalled in 2003.) Streisand could have chosen a title for the album that publicized one of the songs included on it. Instead, she told the Columbia Records art department, “It’s my third album, so let’s just call it what it is: The Third Album. I guess I like straight-forward titles even though the songs are less than straight-forward songs.”

Released in February 1964, The Third Album had a different tone than the first two Streisand albums. “Here Barbra forgoes her larger-than-life-size approach and turns more introspective, allowing her innate musicality to help her make her points,” Larry Verdugo wrote. Because of Barbra’s enormous output during this period of her career, The Third Album was under-publicized. Instead, the saga of Funny Girl seemed to occupy the entertainment columns. Streisand’s name appeared almost daily with rumors and reports on the stage version of Funny Girl and its out-of-town tryouts, behind the scenes struggles, and journey to Broadway. Another way Funny Girl overshadowed The Third Album was Columbia’s 7-inch release of “People.” The Funny Girl ballad was released as a single in January 1964. Barbra’s Third Album was a collection of standards and show tunes, without any Funny Girl songs on it. Ultimately, The Third Album was eclipsed in 1964 by Capitol’s Original Broadway Cast Album of Funny Girl . The Third Album rose as high as #5 on Billboard’s Top LP’s chart and managed to stay in the top ten during the summer of 1964, with Funny Girl always besting it. The truth is that Barbra’s number one, Grammy-winning album, People, captured the public’s attention. It was released a mere seven months afterThe Third Album, in 1964.
